Started at the Run/Bike transition. Ran - pretty good but the climb killed me with my thrashed calves. Bike didn't go well... even with a 20 minute break. Calves cramped coming down, and tightened up repeatedly on the way up.

Saturday, hurting already, I got up early biked to the AMRC unloading for Cabela's gear. Biked home for a total of 24 mi of riding. Ran 4.5 miles in 45 minutes, and then went to Kerry's for steaks and beers before getting the 2nd shipment of 60 pallets of gear unloaded from 8-10:30pm.

Sunday, Jeanne came over to join in the 5 fingers ride. Our version of the bike included trips up Copper, Indian School to Embudo, Candelaria to White Wash parking, Simms to Elena Gallegos, and Tramway to the Tram. Had to rewarm toes at tram because 35 deg weather with blizzard and beastly Easterlies.

I played my first bit of semi-competitive soccer today since my ski injury in January. Felt pretty good even with the tight/pulled hamstring, rolled ankle, and tweaked knee. And as a bonus, I got to bike up to ADO only to find the fields full, so we drove down to Sandia Prep. A nice 7 mile warm up and 8 mile cool down with 90 degree heat.

A lead climber took a 60 foot whipper in Chimney Canyon on Muralla Grande or Clandestine Wall... I don't really know. By the time Nate and I got up there we could hear the helicopter evac'ing the patient. Certainly was a nice day though.

I got to go on my first AMRC mission on Sunday. 18 year old male broke leg up from Embudo TH. I led Team 3 and set up and ran the first low angle lower. Great team response and the patient was out in 2 hours!

Kevin got me climbing in upper La Cueva Canyon again today. We did a fantastic line up The Thumb. Three 60' technical pitches at an average of 1 pitch/hour and then a long ridge simul-climb to the summit to beat the storms. Hit the trail at 12:30 just as the first crash of lightning struck.
